Can confirm, I rode the entirety of the Gono line on the Resort Shirakami, and the entirety of the Akita Nairiku line.

>Ou/Gono Line
Beautiful scenery with great views of the coast for most of the ride, and views of Mt Iwaki when leaving the Ou line and entering the Gono line. If you do this trip, do your best to get on the Buna train. Buna is the newest train running the Resort Shirakami service. It has amazingly comfy seats, a lounge/bar car, and large observation areas at the front and back of the train. Aoiike and Kumagera do not have the bar/lounge, but do still have nice seats and observation spaces.

>Akita Nairiku
Great rural Japan scenery, the line runs through a lot of rice fields and forests, with a mountainous area near the middle just after the line's main depot. When I rode, there were several farms that had rice field art for the people riding the train, pic related. There's also a small park near the station at the Takanosu terminus, that has an old C11 tank locomotive in it.
